			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>רְאֵה, אָנֹכִי נֹתֵן לִפְנֵיכֶם&#8211;הַיּוֹם:&nbsp;בְּרָכָה, וּקְלָלָה.<br />
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse </p>
<p>Just before the Israelites entered the land of Yisrael, G-d revealed that the promised land is under our control, BUT, it is our choice and responsibility to connect to all the benefits that this land holds for us. </p>
<p>The first verse of the parasha declares the choices, the second tells us how to connect to the blessing &quot; the blessing , if you shall listen to the&#8230; &quot; and the third verse &quot; and the curse , if you shall not listen to&#8230; &quot;. You see immediately that the curse comes if you do not follow the system. </p>
<p>You loose the race if you stop running; you lose the business or job if you don\&#8217;t work it. You won\&#8217;t walk out the window because it is the fastest way to the street. If we try out this stunt and fall of the window, it is not G-d that punishes us. It is because we don\&#8217;t listen to the laws of gravity (Physics</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><script type=\"text/javascript\"></script></p>
<p>1.1). (please read again to understand the concept). </p>
<p>In 12:29 &quot; that you shall set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal &quot; &quot; גְּרִזִים &quot; and &quot; עֵיבָל \&#8217; , The mountain of blessing, &quot; גְּרִזִים &quot; has the numerical value of 260 (ten times the Tetragrammaton) also ג׳־רזים , means 3 secrets and also deeper meaning 3 lights ( רז =207= אור =Light ) that is mentioned at the end of the Parasha with the three holidays that we need to connect to the Holy Temple. T he curse, &quot; עֵיבָל \&#8217; is 112 and the same letters of &quot; בילע &quot; = swallow and refer to the darkness that exists when the light is swallowed (black color swallows all light (Physics 1.2) ). </p>
<p>Death swallows us (to the ground and to nothing of physical). This will change when the prophecy of Isaiah (Isaiah 25:8) will be fulfilled and death will be swallowed for ever. </p>
<p>Now we come to the eating of meat that appears many times in this parashah and the kosher steak, I mentioned in the title of this article. But before that we need to understand few important points. There are 16 places in Re\&#8217;eh where the 4 words of &quot; בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר-יִבְחַר יְקוָק &quot; or &quot; הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר-יִבְחַר יְקוָק &quot;, appear 16 times (and three times in the next parasha of Shoftim). There is a lot of significance to those numbers but I want to focus on the steak (Please don\&#8217;t take it lightly as this analogy is full of Light). </p>
<p>The important point to understand is that, these four words represent the connection to the Light, code name &quot; ציון־וירושלים &quot; ( Zion and Jerusalem ); &quot; ציון &quot; is the point where the Light is offering an open connection to us. &quot; ירושלים &quot; is the vessel or the place of connection. </p>
<p>The Torah commentator, Baal Haturim, reveals that &quot; אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם &quot; as in the first appearance of the verse (12:5) has the numerical value in &quot; את־בש &quot; of &quot; ירושלים &quot;, Jerusalem , and &quot; מָּקוֹם &quot; has numerical value of &quot; לציון &quot;, &quot;to Zion &quot;.</p>
<p><script type=\"text/javascript\"></script></p>
<p>When we examine the word &quot; מָּקוֹם &quot; we find the word &quot; קו &quot; between two letters of &quot; מ &quot;, Built from Kaf and Vav (&quot; כו &quot;) =26. This letter\&#8217;s ordinal value is 13 = &quot; אחד &quot; = &quot; אהבה &quot; (x2=26), in Genesis 1:9 we find &quot; יִקָּווּ הַמַּיִם מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמַיִם אֶל-מָקוֹם אֶחָד &quot; &quot; \&#8217; Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place &quot;, Notice &quot; יִקָּווּ &quot; and &quot; מָקוֹם אֶחָד &quot; &quot; one place &quot; and this is the point of &quot; אבן־השתיה &quot;, &quot;The Drinking Stone&quot;, where the whole process of creation began. </p>
<p>This is where the Light flows to the world. This is where physicality began to form. The verse continues &quot; וְתֵרָאֶה, הַיַּבָּשָׁה &quot; &quot; and let the dry land appear &quot;. The word &quot; יִקָּווּ \&#8217; has the word &quot; קו &quot; and &quot; י &quot; and &quot; ו &quot; from both sides. Together they have numerical value of 16 and they represent the two letters of the Tetragrammaton of the Male energy, the flow of Light. The word &quot; קו &quot;, means line. </p>
<p>The Holy Ari explains in the book &quot;Tree Of Life&quot; that to create the physical world G-d restricted himself in a middle point and created a void, a space by distancing himself from it. After that the Light of Endless, &quot; אור־אין־סוף &quot;, drew a line from the endless through the space to the middle point and with that light he created the all the worlds. </p>
<p>Rabbi Ashlag of blessed memory, teaches the Tree of Life of the Ari, in his writings of &quot; תלמוד־עשר־ספירות &quot;, The &quot;Study of The Ten Sefirot&quot;. </p>
<p>As we have learned and as I have&nbsp; explained in my previous commentaries, the connection and revealing of the Light is by pushing it back. When we want to view an object, we point a light to it and we see it when the light reflects back. If it is a black object, it swallows the light. We can see a black object only when light reflects from its surroundings.</p>
<p><script type=\"text/javascript\"></script></p>
<p>When we come to the place &quot; הַמָּקוֹם &quot;, which is the Holy Temple , we bring offerings of physical matters to reveal the light and get the blessings. </p>
<p>Eating is an important process of connecting to the Light. When we eat, we burn the food in our body and transform it into energy. Like the Kohen in the Holy Temple used to do with the sacrifices. The Torah teaches us which animals are good for our connection and which ones are not. </p>
<p>The blessing over the food is important because it guarantees a proper transformation of physical to Light. The Numerical value of &quot; הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר-יִבְחַר יְקוָק &quot; is 912 + 1 (for the Kolel) = 913 = &quot; בְּרֵאשִׁית \&#8217; &quot;Bereshit&quot;, the First word of the Torah and representation of the seed of creation. </p>
<p>When we eat a kosher food, we transform the physical to good energy of upper levels, drawn from the good side of the Tree of Good and Bad. Non Kosher, connects us to physicality and the lower forces. </p>
<p>Non Kosher could be very good physically, but not spiritually. </p>
<p>We are warned to disconnect from the blood of the animal, because it holds the animal\&#8217;s soul and&nbsp; negativity. </p>
<p>Rabbi Avraham Azulai in the book<a target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\" href=\"http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?c9BdwfdBVyzsohwxpy_bYw\"><u> &quot; מעשה־חושב &quot;</u></a>, expands on the meditation of the Ari, about the eating and blessings of the food. </p>
<p>The 32 teeth related to the 32 paths of wisdom (Chokmah). We meditate on the letter Alef &quot; א &quot;, that is built from &quot; י &quot; at the top, &quot; ו &quot; in the middle and &quot; י &quot; at the bottom. When we take the &quot; ו &quot; and split it in the middle (lengthwise), we have &quot; יו &quot; on top and &quot; וי &quot; at the bottom like the 16 teeth on top and 16 on the bottom. </p>
<p>When we chew the food we reveal its light and then we can swallow it. It is hard to remember the whole meditation and to apply it each time we eat but understanding the process and having it in our consciousness, help us connect better.</p>
<p><script type=\"text/javascript\"></script></p>
<p>That is why a kosher steak is good for you. </p>
<p>For the people that wait for Mashiach to come in order to enjoy Steak with Cheese or a good Lobster tail in butter, here is why it will be okay then (only then) to eat any kind of meat/food without restriction. </p>
<p>In short, we are now in the space created for us to reveal the Light; we need to connect to the light of Ein Sof, through the line given to us &quot; הַמָּקוֹם &quot;. </p>
<p>It is done by our actions (doing the Mitzvoth). </p>
<p>At the time of Mashiach, the whole space will be filled with Light, (Isaiah 30:26) &quot; וְהָיָה אוֹר-הַלְּבָנָה, כְּאוֹר הַחַמָּה &quot; &quot; Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun &quot;. .. The Moon will have the light like the Sun. </p>
<p>The line from Ein Sof will expand to fill up the whole space. There will be unity of upper and lower (Zecharia 14:9)<br />
&quot; וְהָיָה יְקוָק לְמֶלֶךְ, עַל-כָּל-הָאָרֶץ; בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יִהְיֶה יְקוָק אֶחָד&#8211;וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד &quot;<br />
&quot; And the LORD shall be King over all the earth; in that day shall the LORD be One, and His name one &quot;. </p>
<p>When the final redemption comes to happen, there will be no need to work and reveal light because the light will already be&nbsp; here. We can then enjoy all physical pleasures. </p>
<p>Until then we need to work hard to reveal the light. Help each other, Give, Share, Sacrifice, Pray and Chew the steak (No butter on top!) before swallowing it. </p>
<p>The harder we work, the faster we will merit seeing Mashiach. Today, Amen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8221; וְיִקְחוּ אֵלֶיךָ פָרָה אֲדֻמָּה תְּמִימָה אֲשֶׁר אֵין-בָּהּ מוּם, אֲשֶׁר לֹא-עָלָה עָלֶיהָ, עֹל &#8221;<br />
&#8220;And they will bring to you a red heifer, faultless, where there is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke&#8221;<br />
The Torah instructs us many times to make sacrifices of different animals. The purpose of that process as explained in earlier commentaries is to remove impurities caused by our actions.<br />
Here is the first time the Torah gives specific details on the animal, this special animal need to be &#8221; פָרָה &#8220;, a red heifer, without any blemishes and one that was never used for work.<br />
The Ari Hakadosh, Rabbi Isaac Luria, in Sefer Halikutim, teach us that the letter &#8221; פָרָה &#8221; are connection to &#8221; םןץףך &#8220;, the five final letters of the Hebrew Alef-Bet. They are equal to 280 &#8221; פָר &#8221; and &#8221; ה &#8221; 5 for the 5 levels of &#8220;Gevurah&#8221;, the left column of the Tree of Life, starting up from Binah.</p>
<p>The &#8221; פָרָה &#8221; needs to be of red color, the color that represents the left column, the desire. The Kohen, slaughter the &#8221; פָרָה &#8221; , let the red blood out of her and splash it seven times against the Holy, then burn her to ashes &#8221; אֵפֶר &#8220;. This word is built from &#8221; פר &#8221; and &#8221; א &#8220;.<br />
The Red Heifer is now reduced to ashes. Before we had 280 + 5 and now 280+1 (for the Kolel). The letter &#8221; ה &#8221; of Malchut is now &#8221; א &#8220;, the letter of the seed of Light &#8221; אור &#8220;, and the concealed beginning of the Torah.<br />
As you can see here the mathematics of the Hebrew letters connecting us to the supernal root, and reveal the energy behind them. The precepts that the Torah is teaching us are the guide and the technology to connect to the supernal.<br />
Understanding the code gives us better connection and ability to draw the concealed Light in the Torah. Every story, every action, every letter has a connection to the supernal.<br />
During the whole process, every one that touches the red heifer becomes impure. Only the persons that the Kohen splashes the &#8221; אֵפֶר &#8220;, the ashes on them, get purified from the energy of death.<br />
The three main words used in the process are &#8221; פרה &#8220;, &#8221; שרפ &#8220;, &#8221; אפר &#8220;, has the connection to &#8221; פר &#8220;, equal to &#8221; םןץףך &#8220;.<br />
The first part of the Parasha &#8220;Chukat&#8221; is read on &#8220;Shabbat Parah&#8221;, which is the first Shabbat after Purim. This begins the purification process before Passover and the beginning of the New Year that starts with the month of Nisan.<br />
The Connection to circumcision<br />
During the circumcision process, The &#8220;Mohel&#8221; (The person that does the act of removing the foreskin from the child&#8217;s reproductive organ), need to do the action of &#8221; פריעה &#8220;, which is tearing the skin and revealing the opening of the organ. The tearing process should be done with the two hands.<br />
The reproductive organ is at the level of Yesod, the channel for the Light, it has the ability to create life and continuation in this world. At the end of it we have the foreskin, which represent death, the Sin of Adam and the Snake.<br />
We see the connection with the letters &#8221; פר &#8221; at the beginning of the word &#8221; פריעה &#8220;.<br />
The process of &#8221; פריעה &#8221; is skipped many times by the Mohels and unfortunately it hurts the child&#8217;s ability to connect and channel the Light for himself and for his children. The circumcision is a technology that helps to remove negativity from the child and open his channel for the Light to flow.<br />
If a parent wants his child to have better chance connecting to the Light and be righteous, he need to have a Mohel that will follow the whole physical process with the spiritual consciousness.<br />
The Final redemption<br />
The Zohar, in Tikkun thirty seven of Tikkunei Hazohar, reveal us the process of redemption. The Creator will remember the covenant and will come to remove all negativity and death from the world. This is the secret of the foreskin and &#8221; פריעה &#8220;, tearing and bleeding.<br />
We are living in the world of death, a world with ends. Life and other actions we do come to an end sooner or later. This is true until we have the final correction of &#8221; פר &#8220;, 280 lights that the Creator will correct for us with the five final letters.<br />
There will be some &#8220;bleeding&#8221; before the channel of Yesod will open and existence will be flooded with the Light of the Creator. This is the time of Mashiach and we hope it is coming, Today, Amen.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Di-s le mostr&#243; la estructura del sistema espiritual y los diez sefirot.<br />
15:17 Di-s dijo: &#34;Te saqu&#233; de Ur de los Caldeos para darte esta tierra por herencia.&#34;</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="dropcap">L</span>ej Leja &#8211; &iquest;Que est&aacute; en la &quot;Voluntad&quot; de Di-s? &iquest;Un Nuevo Convenio?</p>
<p>En G&eacute;nesis 15 leemos acerca de la promesa de Di-s a Abram (quien despu&eacute;s lleg&oacute; a ser Abraham). Di-s lleva a Abram hacia afuera para que mire hacia el cielo y &quot;cuente&quot; las estrellas.</p>
<p>En el libro de la Formaci&oacute;n, escrito por Abraham, &eacute;l revela el conocimiento que Di-s le di&oacute; durante ese evento. Di-s le mostr&oacute; la estructura del sistema espiritual y los diez sefirot.<br />
15:17 Di-s dijo: &quot;Te saqu&eacute; de Ur de los Caldeos para darte esta tierra por herencia.&quot; &quot;לָתֶת לְךָ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת, לְרִשְׁתָּהּ&quot;. &quot;La Tierra&quot; &quot;הָאָרֶץ&quot; en esta forma se refiere a la Tierra de Israel, donde empez&oacute; toda la creaci&oacute;n con la letra Alef y centrada en medio de &quot;רֶץ&quot; (m&aacute;s acerca de &eacute;sto en otro momento.)</p>
<p>Abram le pregunta a Di-s: &quot;&iquest;pero c&oacute;mo e de saber que yo la he de heredar?&quot;. <br />
&iquest;Porqu&eacute; Abram le pregunta a Di-s acerca de &eacute;sto? Ac&aacute;so no le cree&iacute;a, a&uacute;n estando en su presencia?</p>
<p>La respuesta es que en ese momento Abram se di&oacute; cuenta que &eacute;l era responsable de todo lo que pasaba en su vida. Las &quot;estrellas&quot; y el sistema espiritual le mostraron un futuro diferente.&nbsp; Su pregunta fu&eacute; la acertada y en su momento.<br />
Di-s no se tard&oacute; en contestar y de inmediato instruy&oacute; a Abram con una solicitud extra&ntilde;a. &quot;Traeme un becerro עֶגְלָה, una cabra וְעֵז&nbsp; y un borrego וְאַיִל, cada uno de tres a&ntilde;os, junto con una paloma y un pich&oacute;n joven&quot;. La traducci&oacute;n en Espa&ntilde;ol habla de tres a&ntilde;os, en otros lugares hay otras traducciones/interpretaciones.</p>
<p>El punto importante aqu&iacute;, es que hay&nbsp; 3,3,3 elementos. Juntos 9 + 2 (paloma y pich&oacute;n).&nbsp; <br />
El &Aacute;rbolo de la Vida posee tres tri&aacute;ngulos + Malkut c&oacute;mo base. Por lo t&aacute;nto aqu&iacute; tenemos 9+2=11 elementos. Sabemos que hay 10 Sefirot &iquest;entonces d&oacute;nde est&aacute; la conexi&oacute;n?. Abraham en Sefer Yetzirah (El Libro de la Formaci&oacute;n) nos dice que hay 10 sefirot y&nbsp; NO nueve, y despu&eacute;s contin&uacute;a, 10 y NO once.</p>
<p>La estructura del &Aacute;rbol de la Vida tiene 10 sefirot. Cu&aacute;ndo la Luz fluye a trav&eacute;z del &Aacute;rbol de la Vida hay 11 sefirot que estan activos (Incluyendo Da\&#8217;at) y 9 sefirot(Malkut en la oscuridad) cu&aacute;ndo no estan activos.<br />
&nbsp;Todos los elementos se dividen en el centro para darle la oportunidad a Abram de conectarlos.&nbsp; Este es el punto d&oacute;nde Abram a establecido su canal con el sefira de Jessed.</p>
<p>En lo que sigue del cap&iacute;tulo, Di-s le revela el futuro a Abram.&nbsp; Todos los elementos en esta historia estan profundamente codificados pero podemos encontrar unos cu&aacute;ntos elementos clave que se conectan al futuro. La palabra &quot;פְּגָרִים&quot; (carcajes) tiene el valor num&eacute;rico de 333 y &quot;עַיִט&quot; (p&aacute;jaro de presa) es 89. Juntos obtenemos 422 (el valor de la palabra &quot;שבעים&quot;, setenta). Al agregarle 2 por el kolel obtenemost 424, que equivale a: Mes&iacute;as Ben David. El gran comentador de la Torah, Rashi, comenta de este verso (15:11) por la palabra &quot;וַיַּשֵּׁב&quot; (=318) que se refiere al Mes&iacute;as. <br />
Para aqu&eacute;llos que entienden &eacute;sto: (כחבחגתנהימ = 546 x 10 = 5460 + 318 = 5778 (=2018))</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;Abram ten&iacute;a 70 duante ese evento. &Eacute;l hab&iacute;a nacido en 1948 (Calendario Hebreo) y el convenio sucedi&oacute; 70 a&ntilde;os despu&eacute;s, en 2018. En su libro &quot;El Calendario Divino&quot;, Jeff (Ezra) Meiliken escribe acerca de la conexi&oacute;n y los paralelos del calendario Hebreo y el Gregoriano. Un punto interesante es que la Naci&oacute;n de Israel declar&oacute; su independencia en 1948 y 70 a&ntilde;os despu&eacute;s; en 2018 esper&aacute;mos ver una gran revelaci&oacute;n de la Luz y quiz&aacute;s un nuevo convenio con la presencia del Mes&iacute;as. <br />
&nbsp;<br />
He enviado junto con &eacute;ste correo un archivo PDF con los primeros 17 cap&iacute;tulos del Calendario Divino.</p>
<p>Amor y Bendiciones,<br />
Shabbat Shalom</p>
<p>Zion Nefesh</p>

<p>&quot;$39 billones: Las bonificaciones de Wall Street para los cinco bancos inversionistas m&aacute;s grandes el a&ntilde;o pasado&quot;<br />
&quot;$70 BILLONES dedicados para la paga de bonificaciones en Wall Street&quot; Caroline Waxler (Businesssheet.com)http://www.businesssheet.com/2008/10/-70-billones-para-cubrir-por-wall-street-pagos-y-bonificaciones<br />
En 2007,&nbsp; Las cinco firmas m&aacute;s grandes de Wall Street &#8212; Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, y Morgan Stanley &#8212; pagaron un r&eacute;cord de $39 billones en bonificaciones para s&iacute; mismos. <br />
Eso es $10 billones m&aacute;s que los $29 billones en pr&eacute;stamo de los contribuyentes de impuestos est&aacute;n haciendo a J.P. Morgan para salvar Bear Stearns.<br />
Esas bonificaciones del 2007 fueron pagadas a&uacute;n cu&aacute;ndo los accionistas en esas firmas hab&iacute;an perdido colectivamente el a&ntilde;o pasado $74 billones en las bajas del mercado &#8212; su peor a&ntilde;o desde el 2002. Estos ejecutivos de la compa&ntilde;&iacute;a siguen luchando ferozmente para proteger su paga.</p>
<p>Cu&aacute;ndo la ultima vez el gobierno sac&oacute; de apuros a Chrysler en 1979, las uniones tuvieron un fuerte recorte en su pago y Lee Iacocca recort&oacute; su pago a $1 d&oacute;lar por a&ntilde;o, hasta que fueron pagadas todas las deudas. Esto sucedi&oacute; hace 30 a&ntilde;os m&aacute;s o menos.</p>
<p>Hoy ya no vemos gigantes millonarios c&oacute;mo Andrew Carnegie quien es considerado la segunda persona m&aacute;s rica en la historia con una red valorada en 300 billones de d&oacute;lares (valor actual). Despu&eacute;s de haberse enriquecido el di&oacute; la mayor&iacute;a de su dinero en caridad y tambien a organizaciones de educaci&oacute;n. Estableci&oacute; librerias p&uacute;blicas a trav&eacute;z de los Estados Unidos e hizo mucho m&aacute;s.</p>
<p>La mayor&iacute;a de los americanos estan enojados debido a este incidente. El Gobierno con el Acto de Socialismo ahora protege y soporta al Capitalismo.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Antes de que t&uacute; tambien te enojes con ellos recuerda que tu reacci&oacute;n negativa se suma a la negatividad en el mundo. Si alguien te busca pelea y t&uacute; respondes igual, entonces comienzas una guerra. Busca por lo que puedas hacer positivamente y no por lo que puedas objetar o negar.</p>
<p>Este ego&iacute;smo absoluto y el conscientemente (y legalmente) tomar el dinero de millones de contribuyentes para los pocos en la cima, es Sodoma y Gomorra 2008. El nivel del deseo para uno mismo est&aacute; al m&aacute;ximo en&nbsp; Wall Street y tambi&eacute;n en todo el mundo.</p>
<p>La ca&iacute;da de la inversi&oacute;n de los bancos en Nueva York afect&oacute; todo el mercado financiero alrededor del mundo. no debemos culparlos a ELLOS o al gobierno. Debemos culparnos a nosotros mismos. Son nuestros peque&ntilde;os actos de ego&iacute;smo e indiferencia del bienestar de otras personas que se han acomulado a trav&eacute;z de los a&ntilde;os para golpearnos de vuelta en nuestra cara.</p>
<p>No nesecitamos un maestro Jedi c&oacute;mo Obi-Wan (Guerra de las Galaxias) para sentir que: &quot;Hay una gran conmoci&oacute;n en la Fuerza, c&oacute;mo si millones de voces gritaran en terror&#8230;&quot;</p>
<p>Hay un sistema de causa y ef&eacute;cto.</p>
<p>Cu&aacute;ndo acomulamos una gran cantidad de dinero c&oacute;mo para sentirnos &quot;seguros&quot; nos olvidamos de nuestro prop&oacute;sito en la vida (Deuteronomio 8:18)</p>
<p>וְזָכַרְתָּ, אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ&#8211;כִּי הוּא הַנֹּתֵן לְךָ כֹּחַ, לַעֲשׂוֹת חָיִל<br />
&nbsp; לְמַעַן הָקִים אֶת-בְּרִיתוֹ אֲשֶׁר-נִשְׁבַּע לַאֲבֹתֶיךָ, כַּיּוֹם הַזֶּה</p>
<p>&quot;Pero deber&aacute;s recordar al SE&Ntilde;OR t&uacute; Di-s, porque es &Eacute;l quien te d&aacute; el poder de obtener riquezas, para que &Eacute;l pueda establecer Su convenio el cu&aacute;l &Eacute;l jur&oacute; a tus Padres, a c&oacute;mo es en &eacute;ste d&iacute;a&quot;</p>
<p>El convenio es dirigir y usar la Luz del Creador para hacer por otros. Cu&aacute;ndo nos olvidamos acerca de &quot;la Serpiente&quot;, quien es el Maestro de las Ilusiones, &eacute;l habre su enorme boca y engulle nuestra energ&iacute;a.</p>
<p>C&oacute;mo la serpiente con su lengua partida de mitad verdad y mitad mentira, ellos nos tientan y toman nuestra energ&iacute;a. &quot;El Toro ha sido devorado por la serpiente&quot;&#8230;</p>
<p>Nuestro propio ego&iacute;smo incrementa el poder de la fuerza negativa que nos rodea. alimenta a &quot;la Serpiente&quot; y cu&aacute;ndo crece, no tiene misericordia. Quiere m&aacute;s y drena nuestra energ&iacute;a. Este es el secreto de la ley de entrop&iacute;a. (funciona &uacute;nicamente en la materia f&iacute;sica)</p>
<p>Este es Sodoma y Gomorra 2008. Nosotros lo creamos y ahora est&aacute; sonando a nuestras puertas.</p>
<p>Esta es la oscuridad y tambien la esperanza. La Torah nos revela la semilla del Mes&iacute;as en este parasha. En la oscuridad de Sodoma Di-s ocult&oacute; su m&aacute;s precioso regalo para nosotros, la semilla del Mes&iacute;as.</p>
<p>Lot la llevaba consigo. Su Padre, Haran quien fuese un adorador de &iacute;dolos, estaba libre de la influencia de la negatividad as&iacute; que Di-s lo us&oacute; para llevar la semilla y pasarsela a Lot. (Haran se convirti&oacute; y se hizo justo m&aacute;s tarde).</p>
<p>&nbsp;El nombre de Lot es: Lamed, Vav, y Tet. La Lamed es la conexi&oacute;n con lo superior, ya que est&aacute; constru&iacute;da de una Caf y una Vav, La Tet es la letra de Tov (Bueno, Ohr Tov de las primeras 36 horas de la Creaci&oacute;n), Lamed y Tet tienen el valor de 39 (Tal y el valor del Milui de las primeras tres letras del Tetragrammat&oacute;n). Vav es la semilla del Mes&iacute;as y est&aacute; protegida en el centro del nombre.</p>
<p>El Ari en sefer Halikutim revela los secretos profundos.&nbsp; Despu&eacute;s del &quot;escape&quot; de la destrucci&oacute;n, Lot y sus hijas encontraron descanso en una cueva, d&oacute;nde las hijas emborrachar&oacute;n a su Padre y extraj&eacute;ron la semilla de &eacute;l para poder crear la continuaci&oacute;n de la existencia en el mundo.</p>
<p>La primog&eacute;nita se acuesta con su Padre y leemos:,</p>
<p>&quot;וַתָּבֹא הַבְּכִירָה וַתִּשְׁכַּב אֶת-אָבִיהָ, וְלֹא-יָדַע בְּשִׁכְבָהּ וּבְקוּמָהּ&quot; <br />
&quot;Y la primog&eacute;nita entr&oacute;, y se acost&oacute; con su Padre; y &eacute;l no supo cu&aacute;ndo ella se acost&oacute;, o cu&aacute;ndo ella se levant&oacute;&quot;</p>
<p>Despu&eacute;s la hija m&aacute;s joven hizo algo similar y leemos:,</p>
<p>&quot;וַתָּקָם הַצְּעִירָה וַתִּשְׁכַּב עִמּוֹ, וְלֹא-יָדַע בְּשִׁכְבָהּ וּבְקֻמָהּ&quot; <br />
&quot;Y la m&aacute;s joven se levant&oacute;, y se acost&oacute; con &eacute;l; y &eacute;l no supo cu&aacute;ndo ella se acost&oacute;, o cu&aacute;ndo se levant&oacute;.&quot;</p>
<p>Se mira como el mismo verso pero tiene una gran diferencia. La palabra &quot;וּבְקוּמָהּ&quot; (Se Levant&oacute;) del primero tiene una letra Vav con un punto especial encima de ella. Al segundo &quot;וּבְקֻמָהּ&quot; le falta la Vau.</p>
<p>La letra Vav, que es la semilla del Mes&iacute;as fu&eacute; transferida de Lot hacia la primog&eacute;nita y por lo t&aacute;nto ya no estaba disponible para la segunda.</p>
<p>La primog&eacute;nita llam&oacute; a su hijo Moav &quot;מואב&quot; y cu&aacute;ndo acomodamos las letras vemos: &quot;ו־מאב&quot; que significa, Vav del Padre. Sabemos que de Moav hay una l&iacute;nea directa al Rey David y el Mes&iacute;as es el hijo de David.&nbsp; El valor num&eacute;rico de Sodoma y Gomorra es 425 el cu&aacute;l es el mismo que: &quot;Mes&iacute;as&nbsp; Ben David&quot; + 1. Cu&aacute;ndo la Luz abandon&oacute; ese lugar ten&iacute;a que regresar a la oscuridad.</p>
<p>Otro punto interesante, es que, despu&eacute;s de que la letra Vav es tomada de Lot, &eacute;l ya no es mencionado en la Torah.</p>
<p>La predicci&oacute;n espiritual no es algo agradable.La ley de causa y ef&eacute;cto invita a una seria limpieza la cu&aacute;l nunca es f&aacute;cil.<br />
Para estar seguros necesitamos estar con la Luz en cada acci&oacute;n que hag&aacute;mos. Incrementa el poder de nuestros &aacute;ngeles personales con energ&iacute;a de Luz que estar&aacute; disponible para nosotros cu&aacute;ndo necesitemos escapar de la oscuridad.<br />
Nuestra esperanza es que de &eacute;sta oscuridad saldr&aacute; el Mes&iacute;as, Hoy. Am&eacute;n.</p>
<p>
&nbsp;Amor y Bendiciones,</p>
<p>Shabbat Shalom,</p>

<div>The divine letters behind the word &quot; <font size=\"4\">בְּ</font>רֵאשִׁית&quot; are &quot;אבגיתץ&quot;. The first word means &quot;In the beginning&quot; and the second has the energy of unconditional love.</div>
</div>

I commented on this in several of my commentaries to the Torah. This week we start reading the Torah from the beginning. The truth is that we are not repeating the Torah because <span class=\"nfakPe\">it</span> is the channel of the Light to this world and as such year 5769 is different from 5768. The Torah reveals new and different light.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
When I read the beginning again today I understand new things. <span class=\"nfakPe\">It</span> is not the same Torah, the light is different and unique for this year.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
This year the story of creation tells me a similar story but with different focus. The first Mitzvah is &quot;Be fruitful and multiply&quot;. What does <span class=\"nfakPe\">it</span> mean in the global level?</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
The book of <span class=\"nfakPe\">Genesis</span> is related to the level of Keter. (Exodus = Chokmah, Leviticus=Binah, Numbers=Zeir Anpin and Deuteronomy=Malchut).&nbsp; There are <span class=\"nfakPe\">613</span> Mitzvoth in the Torah that are observed by Jews and seven by noahides. Together they count to <span class=\"nfakPe\">620</span>. As we know <span class=\"nfakPe\">620</span> is the value of the word Keter, which is the seed level of creation, the cause of everything.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p>&nbsp;</p></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>&quot;מצוה&quot; (Mitzvah, precepts) translates to the Tetragramaton when we convert the first two letters to their At-Bash value, מצ in את־בש gives יה. When we unify all together as one in front of the creator we can connect to Keter.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
In my commentary to Behar (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"../../../index.cfm/feature/124\">http://rabbishimon.com/index.<wbr></wbr>cfm/feature/124</a>) we found out that your neighbor is your brother. Love him even if he is not going to the same house of worship nor has a different name or symbol on his door.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
The first day of creation is described as &quot;יוֹם אֶחָד&quot; (day one). One in Hebrew has the same numerical value of &quot;אהבה&quot;, Love. <span class=\"nfakPe\">It</span> is not called &quot;First day&quot; but day ONE for the oneness and completion in <span class=\"nfakPe\">it</span>. The cause and thought of creation was reflected on the first day and <span class=\"nfakPe\">it</span> was Love (unconditional love).</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
Keter is the power behind the Aleph of &quot;אבגיתץ&quot;. This is the force that pours love to us and sustains us. Looking at this simple equation (<span class=\"nfakPe\">613</span> +<span class=\"nfakPe\">7</span> = <span class=\"nfakPe\">620</span>) we learn only one thing. UNITY. LOVE (Unconditional Love).</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
Let\&#8217;s start again and this time remember that our future depends on love among all, unconditionally.</p>
<p>I love <span class=\"nfakPe\">you</span> all (unconditionally)</div>
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">I will bring a few different points, and later will tie them together to reveal deep secrets. </font></div>
<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Isaac prayed for his wife to have children and God answered his prayers. Now Rebecca is about to give birth to twins, but they are too wild in her womb. Out of fear she calls on God and God explains that out of her womb two nations will split.</font></div>

<font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">The seed of creation concealed within the first 42 letters of Genesis. </font></div>
<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">&quot; בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ וְהָאָרֶץ, הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבּ &quot;</font></div>

<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">&quot;In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty,&quot;</font></div>
<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">The words &quot;תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ&quot; means chaos in Hebrew. The 42 letters ends before the word for chaos is completed &quot;ה תֹהוּ וָבּ&quot;. Why is that? What is hidden here? </font></div>
<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Now if we take the last 6 letters or the 42, which represent the last line of the Ana B\&#8217;koach we find out that the numerical value of it is 424. You got it right. It stands for <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Mashiach</font></span> ben David (Messiah the son of David). </font></div>
<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">&nbsp;</font></div>
<div><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">We see that God created Heaven and Earth and all was chaos and <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">darkness</font></span> and abyss. Then it says &quot;and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.&quot; The spirit of God referred by the Kabbalists as the spirit of <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Mashiach</font></span>. Only after that the command to bring the <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">light</font></span> out was given.</font></div>

<span class="dropcap">I</span>n Genesis 15 we read about God\&#8217;s promise to Abram (Later he becomes Abraham). God takes Abram out to look toward heavens and &quot;count&quot; the stars.</p>
<p>In the Book of Formation, written by Abraham, he reveals the knowledge God gave him during that event. God showed him the structure of the spiritual system and the ten sefirot.<br />
15:17 God said &quot;I brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees to give you this land to inherit it.&quot; &quot;לָתֶת לְךָ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת, לְרִשְׁתָּהּ&quot;. &quot;The Land&quot; &quot;הָאָרֶץ&quot; in this form always refers to the Land of Israel where the whole creation began with the Aleph and centered around the &quot;רֶץ&quot; (more on this subject another time.)</p>
<p>Abram asks God &quot;whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?&quot;. <br />
Why did Abram question God about this? Didn\&#8217;t he believe God, when he was at his presence?</p>
<p>The answer is that at that moment Abram realized that he was responsible for whatever happens in his life. The &quot;stars&quot; and the spiritual system showed him a different future.&nbsp; His question was correct and in place.<br />
God didn\&#8217;t delay the answer and immediately instructed Abram with a strange request. &quot;Bring me a heifer עֶגְלָה, a goat וְעֵז&nbsp; and a ram וְאַיִל, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon&quot;. The English translation talks about three years, in other places there are other translation/interpretations. </p>
<p>The important point here is that there are 3,3,3 elements. Together 9 + 2 (dove and pigeon).&nbsp; <br />
The tree of Life has three triangles + Malchut at the base. So here we have 9+2=11 elements. We know that there are 10 Sefirot so what is the connection here?. Abraham in Sefer Yetzirah (The Book of Formation) tells us that there are 10 sefirot and NOT nine, and then he continues, 10 and NOT eleven. </p>
<p>The structure of the Tree of Life has 10 sefirot. When the light flows through the tree of life there are 11 sefirot which are active (Including Da\&#8217;at) and 9 sefirot(Malchut in the dark) when they\&#8217;re not active.<br />
&nbsp;All elements split in the middle to give opportunity to Abram to connect them together.&nbsp; This is the point where Abram has established his channel to the sefira of Chessed.</p>
<p>In the continuation of the chapter, God reveals the future to Abram.&nbsp; All the elements in this story are deeply coded but we can find few key elements that connect to the future. The word &quot;פְּגָרִים&quot; (carcasses) has the numerical value of 333 and &quot;עַיִט&quot; (bird of prey) is 89. Together we get 422 (the value of the word &quot;שבעים&quot;, seventy). By adding 2 for the kolel we get 424, which equals to Mashiach Ben David. The great Torah commentator, Rashi, comments on this verse (15:11) for the word &quot;וַיַּשֵּׁב&quot; (=318) that it implies to The Mashiach. <br />
For those who understand this (כחבחגתנהימ = 546 x 10 = 5460 + 318 = 5778 (=2018))</p>
<div>&nbsp;Abram was 70 during that event. He was born in 1948 (Hebrew Calendar) and the covenant was 70 years later in 2018. In his book &quot;The Divine Calendar&quot;, Jeff (Ezra) Meiliken writes about the connection and parallels of the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars. Interesting point is the nation of Israel had declared its independence in 1948 and 70 years later; in 2018 we expect to see a great revelation of the Light and may be a new covenant with Mashiach presence.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="dropcap">I</span>t is now after Midnight (Friday morning). We just finished with the fast of Yom Kippur <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> we are just before Shabbat. I didn\&#8217;t have article ready for the parasha of <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Haazinu</font></span>. (Last year I was in Israel <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> didn\&#8217;t have time to write on it).This year I decided to fight the desire to go to sleep <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> write to you this short <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> important commentary. I will not have time to edit it so there is a risk of not being clear <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">or</font></span> sending in with English errors. (In fact I am writing directly into the email system, not even a proper word processor that will help me with grammar <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">or</font></span> spelling). Enough with excuses.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I want to share with you just few points. The parasha considered as the song of <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Moses</font></span>. It is written in the Torah in very unique way <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> the style is also different. The whole songs in written on <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">two</font></span> special columns, which are split into <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">two</font></span> each to become 4 columns of text.<br />
Before the song starts we have 6 regular lines of Torah text, then 35 lines split to <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">two</font></span> columns then on the next Torah Column we have the reverse image. 35 lines split to <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">two</font></span> then 6 regular lines.<br />
I believe that a mathematician will find a lot of secrets just from this unique arrangement of the parasha. Kabbalah Sees it as the upper <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> lower triangles that form the shield of David. 70 + 70 lines of the song <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">or</font></span> 35 times 4.<br />
This arrangement also looks like <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">two</font></span> doors, <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">one</font></span> opens toward heavens <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">one</font></span> door open toward earth </p>
<p>At the top of the column, which we discussed last week, we have the letter Aleph that gave birth to <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Moses</font></span> <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> he keeps it as a key to move between the worlds through the doors that <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Moses</font></span> actually created for us. <br />
The letter Aleph is described in <a title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\" href=\"http://nehora.com/index.cfm/product/551\"><u>Sefer Yetzirah</u></a> (The Book of Formation) as a Mother letter, together with Mem <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> Shin.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
In the parasha we find a very unique word in the Hebrew language, it has only <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">one</font></span> letter, the letter/word \&#8217;He\&#8217;. It appears as large letter, which means that it connects to the level of Binah. The reader of the Torah should read it as a separate word <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> not connect it to the next word as normally read.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
This letter appears twice in the Tetragramaton, <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">one</font></span> time for Binah <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> on time for Malchut. Here it tells us how <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Moses</font></span> connected upper <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> lower, like at the beginning of the songs with calling upon heaven <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> earth to listen to his song <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> by that he created necessary gates for us <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> for himself. As I explained in previous commentaries, he will come back. He has the key <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> the gates.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Last point I want to share with you is that in the Zohar portion of <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Haazinu</font></span>, we find a special section called &quot;Idra Zuta&quot; (translated to &quot;Smaller Assembly&quot;). In this part <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Rabbi</font></span> <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Shimon</font></span> reveals the secrets of Zeir Anpin (six sefirot of Chessed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> Yesod). Also here <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Rabbi</font></span> <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Shimon</font></span> is leaving the world <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> its departure described in details in the Idra Zuta. <br />
I won\&#8217;t go into this details but I will try to answer why the Idra Zuta placed inside Zohar <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Haazinu</font></span>?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The Ari, tells us that <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Rabbi</font></span> <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Shimon</font></span> had a spark on the soul of <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Moses</font></span>. He came to the world to reveal the Zohar, in order to support the Shechina at the days before revelation of Mashiach <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> to give us a powerful tool of connection <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> protection.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The Zohar <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Rabbi</font></span> <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Shimon</font></span> directing us to the gates that lead to Zeir Anpin, the &quot;Light&quot;.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
When the Torah is raised this Shabbat <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> you look at it, Stare at the Gates that <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">Moses</font></span> created for us <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> ask him to come back.<br />
He was the first redeemer <span class=\"st\" id=\"st\" name=\"st\"><font style=\"background-color: #ffff88\">and</font></span> he will be the last redeemer. <br />
&nbsp;<br />
We want to see him now &quot;Ki Ba Moed&quot; (because time has come).</p>
